So my question - how much difference is there really in shooting brass that is effectively chamber sized ?
Is there going to be any discernible real world difference between lapua and say Remington brass - everything else being equal ??

Blr243 wrote:Not that it will bother me but just out of curiosity has anyone ever found real big differences in the volume to the point where differences could affect accuracy or poi. Eg in a 3006 case could a thick ppu case have one or two per cent less volume available than another brand ? Or are the volume differences smaller eg a quarter of a per cent ? Sorry for the hijack
What are you shooting, mate?
I assume general use type stuff... fun paper punching? hunting?
I imagine competitive shooting isn't on the agenda for this brass, true?
SCJ429 wrote:There can be significant differences between brands of brass that may push you out of your node. This is quite easy to correct. The problem with brass like Remington is the variations between individual pieces of brass within your batch and the amount of culling you have to do to get them shooting the same velocity consistently.

1000 yard F-Class, sure, 100fps different is going to have a huge impact.
Game hunting (at any realistic distance), effectively none.

1/2 inch at 200 is a miss maybe no wounding or gut shots
l also put that degree of precision into recreational hunting, you practice like you hunt you hunt like you practice
IMO if you think "its a hunting rig not a comp rifle" you are going for second best
batch weighing is not as good as volume weighing Tassie, since l know you have plenty of time on your hands
